appeal will be made to General Master Workman
Powderly W. H. Bailey a member of the

A Dusky Visitor AT the White House.
HE Halls FROM SAN DOMINGo-NoT TO BIZ FOOLED
BIZ WASHINGTON SHARPERS.
One OF the most interested visitors at the White
House yesterday was colored boy about twenty
years old, whose appearance did not distinguish
him from the thousands Of cOIOred boys roaming
about the Capital. The attention of several per-
sons, however, was attracted to him by the pecu-
nar1ty OF his way OF speaking In asking questions
about the different things he saw. His dialect
sounded Like cross between the pigeon English
Of John Chinaman and broken French, with
out his story. He is native Of San Domingo. He
saved up little money and worked his passage to
Baltimore on a schooner loaded with guano. He
made the trip on purpose to see Washington,
and he was delighted with everything he saw.
The vessel he came on has gone back
for smother cargo and he intends re-
out OF money, he win work his way. When
told how many people want to get work, he re-
piled with an air Of confidence that when man
was really anxious to work he generally found
something to do. He saw lots of people here, he
said. just the same as in his country, who were
going around looking for work and praying to God
pie in San Domingo, he Said, were put into the
army as soon as their tricks were learned. Some
OF the colOred people here took him for FOOL and
tried to get his money from him by inducing him
to play policy and "shOOt crap, but he wouldn't
do either. At home he worked at gathering
bananas, and his wages were $1.1O per day, with
sure pay, as the law compelS employers TO pay
